In the midst of the epidemiological situation created by COVID-19, the neonatology service of the Vladimir Ilich Lenin University Teaching Hospital in the city of Holguín keeps providing its medical programs for newborns with low birth weight and metabolic and respiratory disorders that make them highly vulnerable to the new coronavirus.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel insisted on Monday on the need to review strategies to control the COVID-19 pandemic and deepen isolation protocols, emphasizing Havana.

The second anti-Covid-19 intervention trial in Cuba is beginning Monday with the vaccine candidate Abdala with 124,000 volunteers, among them health workers and the biopharmaceutical sector.
